    This is a near perfect game on iOS. Just look at those visuals, which look even better when everything is moving, and add on gameplay that evolves as you go from chapter to chapter, but remains a one-button game the whole time. Touching that button initiates various abilities which are all lined up in the…

    I can’t remember why I didn’t pick this up earlier – since I quite like James Kochalka’s work (including his music) – but it’s on sale for a buck right now and so I grabbed it, and I suddenly got addicted to it. It takes Space Invaders, mixed in with Gorf, with more movement on…

    Having so many friends excited for this game – when it was released earlier this month in Japan – got me excited for it too, and I’m really glad I picked it up. It’s a 2D Mega Man-like action platformer, and yes, it’s fun to play, and it also has a cool cyberpunk setting –…

  • Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus

    I really love the Ratchet & Clank series, and although I don’t go back to play PS3 games much – mostly because my PS3 is noisy as fuck due to the fan – but I did really want to play Into the Nexus, and since it was on sale for $8 this week, I jumped…

  • Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition

    I finally get why so many people love Diablo III, but I really needed for this console version (I’m playing on PS4) to happen. It’s not just that I don’t have a computer that can handle games like this, but I also don’t really like playing games on computer with a keyboard and mouse anyway.…

    I wasn’t really interested in trying this game out, especially when it was released on iPad and people were talking about the excessive purchasable in-game currency. But a friend said he was having fun with it, so I decided to give it a spin, and have ended up having fun with it. It’s not perfect…

  • Star Wars: Commander

    I feel like I always have to make excuses when I try playing another one of these free-to-play games, but yes, the Star Wars name made me want to give this Clash of Clans clone a try, and what can I say, a week later I’m still playing. I still don’t like the fact that…

  • The Black Hole

    It’s always scary revisiting media that you loved as a kid, because most often than not, it hasn’t aged well. I have very fond memories of watching The Black Hole, and I’m happy to say that I still liked it when I watched it last night. The story is still creepy, and I like the…

  • Doctor Who

    I haven’t watched the second episode yet of this new season, which friends are saying was much better, but I gotta say that I didn’t much care for the season opener. The new Doctor is great, and the bits I did enjoy were because of his characterization. But plot-wise, it was a bore, and really…

  • Downton Abbey

    When season 4 first aired, I watched the first couple of episodes, and was feeling Downton fatigue. I finally decided to give it another chance, and I did get sucked in – it didn’t take long to binge the entire season and the Christmas episode. I am getting to really hate any storyline that involves…
